A PLEASANT SOCIAL PARTY

HooDTowN, August 27.-Last evening
was much enjoyed and long to be remem
bered by the young people in this commu-
nifty. We feel greatly indebted to Mr..
Will White for giving to the young people
of Hoodtown and vicinity, the privilege
of having a lawn party at his house.
There were quite a number Of young peo-
pie who received invitations, and the same
gratifed the family with their presence
and good behavior.
The evening seemed to be very much
enjoyed by those present, though lam sor-
ry to say that a number, lacking the ne
cessary courage to face the fair sex, stood
wistfully looking on, while others were
amusing themselves by talking, playing
croquet or taking buggy rides and endeav-
oring to ingratiate themselves in the good
graces of the fair ones. OF him who does
not participate in enjoying himself with
them, we form an idea that he is spending
his life in such a manner that it is of no
great satisfaction to himself, or any one
else.
By the time the game was brought to a
close, an invitation was cordially extend
ed to all to surround the large table, which
was so beautifully supplied with many
things that are necessary to sustain life.

THE AMOUNT OF JONES' BAIL.
ground crops.

We were in error last week in the state
ment that the amount of bail in the case
of Jones, the Edgeield triple murderer,
was fixed by Judge Wallace at the sum
of 5000. The amount should have been
stated as $4,000. In justice to Judge Wal
lace, in view of our adverse comments,
though nothing was said rejecting upon
him as an exponent of the law as he finds
it, we print to-day, in full, his order grant
ing bail to Jones. For Judge Wallace we
entertain the highest respect as a true and
impartial Judge, n who would act only
upon conscientious motives, nor would we
reflect upon Judge Norton's action in the
premises, he being governed by the rules
of practice as they have obtained in this
State but that there is serious defect in the
rules, as also in the law as applied to such
a peculiar and extraordinary case as that
of Jones, non can deny, and it is OF these
defects that we complain.
It is doubtful, however, if Jones can give
the required bond. 1t seems that while
his proffered bondsmen are willing to
verify according to Judge Wallace's re-
quirements, the sworn statements of their
tax returns place their property at a value
much less than the sum in which they are
required to verify. This situation bring:
about an inconsistency which they have
not yet reconciled.
The Edgefeld Chronicle of the oath,
commenting upon the action of Judge
Wallace, says:
On yesterday, our Clerk of Court receiv'
ed from Judge Wallace the order admit
ting Jones to balm the sum of ten thou
sand dollars-with not less than two mol
more than five sureties. We are willing
to believe that Judge Wallace has done
the best he could under the law. We sup
pose Jones can give the bond. The sure
ties are to justify in twice the sum. The
law by which such a murderer as Jones
goes at large, ought to be amended as soor
as possible, to meet such cases. And here
will be- bond which it would behoove oul
Grand Jury or a especial Committee" tt
look narrowly into-very narrowly.

Rock HILL, August 29.-The past few
days have been fall-like, and fires have
been comfortable. We were visited with
a hard rain during Friday night, which
did considerable damage to the cotton
crop.
A most cowardly murder was committed
in Ebenezer township, on the line of the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Kali-
road, last Thursday afternoon. On We'd
nesday. a man who gave his name as
Thomas Brown, of Wilmington, n.y., ap-
piled to the contractor on that section for
work. On the following day, after dinner,
B. D. Deal, employed as foreman by MIR.
Thomas, engaged in a quarrel with Brown
which ended in Deal sticking a knife in
the breast of Brown. AS soon as Brown
discovered that he had been stabbed, he
ran off about a thousand feet, but returned
and went down the railroad line followed
by Deal. Brown not returning, search was
made, and his dead body was found in
some bushes on the side of the railroad
line.
Trial Justice Welborn, acting as coroner,
empaneled a jury of inquest with Mr..
Peter Garrison as foreman. Several eye
witnesses to the deed were examined.
The most important witness was W.. ..
MAY, who testified as follows:
II saw the difficulty between Thomas
Brown and B. D. Deal, but did not hear
the commencement of it. 1 was a short
distance off and heard loud talking and
cursing, and came up where the party
was. After considerable parleying, Deal
ordered Brown to leave. Brown started
off and got to the railroad bank and Deal
followed him and they struck at each 9TH
err; don't know who struck first. Brown
struck at deal with a coat that he was car
rying. Deal ran his hand into his vest
pocket and pulled out a knife, opened it
and stuck it into Browns left breast.
Brown Immediately ran off and went a
short distance and returned to where we
were. Deal attempted to cut him again.
I followed to him not to cut that mar
again. Brown left and went down the
line. Deal followed shortly afterward in
the same direction, and shortly returned.
I went in that direction and found Browns
hat and coat, and came back and asked
Mr.. White to 20 and look for Brown"
The verdict of the jury was that "Thom-
as Brown came to his death by a stab in
the breast with a knife in the. hands of B.
D. Deal" After Deal had done his bloody
work he made his escape, and has left for
parts unknown. The Governor has been

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.

FORT MILL, August 29.-November
weather without its frosts, has prevailed
for several days. The river has again
been high, but not as high as before.
Sugar Creek, having behaved itself admi-
rably heretofore, seems to have determin-
ed, like some children, to balance accounts
between good and i'll; it vas all over the
bottoms yesterday. However, as the corn
is generally getting hard, it is probable
that not much damage has occurred.
A week ago the left wing of the Saliva
ton Army visited us; at least they looked
as if they were cleft" Having had sad
experience both in Chester and Rock Hill,
they seemed to think that our little ham,
let did not possess many attractions for
them; so, after a brief breathing spell,
they departed in disgust and shook the mud
of Fort Mill from their feet. They were
a forlorn looking set and if their success
depends on great humility in outward
appearance, they were certainly well
equipped for their work but I fear that
appearance is their sole recommendation.
Nothing new has %transpired lately. The
"Gretna Green" business languishes, but
the Squire is hopeful of a good fail crop OF
matrimony.
Messrs. Young and Mum who have
been working on the Charleston, Cincin-
natl and Chicago railroad, between here
and Lancaster, have returned to their
shops at this place and resumed their re-
spective vocations.

yesterday. He says that with fair working
weather he can complete his contract within
five weeks.
The work of track laying at Camden has not

ready to begin, nor is a portion of the grading
this side of Camden sufficiently advanced to
admit of the work of track laying progressing
steadily had it been commenced at the date first

Considering the continuous rainy weather OF
the past few weeks, work all along the line IS
progressing as satisfactorily as could be ex-
